Water shut-off notice: help Emery pay $500
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Emery needs $500 before October.

The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $500. I have never been late before July's medical emergency.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $110 first, which I don't have.
I live with three children under ten, and going through winter without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $500 goes:
• Water arrears: $195
• Reconnection and late fees: $185
• Down payment on a payment plan: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thinking of you, Emery. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Manila.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Noida
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bang Khen.
Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
